[HECnet] Introducing myself... and my little network

1) Defining the permanent node database for both TOPS10 and TOPS20. NCP rejects the DEFINE NODE commands. I guess there is some sort of utility like the one in RSX (CFE) to define the "permanent" node list, but I've not been able to find that one. There is a NIPGEN in TOPS-10 to build a CMD file with the SET NODE commands, but no NIPGEN in TOPS-20 that I've been able to find... T10/T20 has no permanent database, nor does it understand copy, look for a program named nodnam.exe it reads ini:NODNAM.INI and populated the node-name-table.. And nodnam.ini looks like this... define node 1.42 name BIGBOA define node 1.100 name FLETCH define node 1.150 name GLGMSH define node 1.200 name PLINTH define node 1.201 name CRISPS define node 1.202 name NIPPER define node 1.301 name CTEPBA define node 1.302 name XPEH 2) LAT. LAT works fine in TOPS-20. In TOPS-10 LCP tells me LAT is active, but it does not work (does not even announce itself). How do I enable LAT in TOPS-10? Don't knew. 3) And, spealking of LAT... How do I change the service identification in TOPS-20? What do you mean with service identification? The stuff in "sh exec char?" I mean, how do I change it PERMANENTLY? I guess I have to put it in some sort of auto-executing file. SYSTEM.CMD? Something in 7-1-CONFIG.CMD? Again, any pointer to docs would be very appreciated. I don't want to bug you with the thousands of questions I've got :) Right There is nothing permanent, unless you poke it in to the monitr.exe file....
